Why EventUp Will Help You Increase 2022 Revenue
Private events are the bread and butter (pun intended) for any restaurant or venue since the revenue margins are anywhere from 10% to 30%. Increasing the private events held at your space by just one event per month can mean huge revenue growth over the course of a year.
But why stop at just one new event per month?
Being listed on EventUp exposes your venue to hundreds of thousands of event planners, all who are potential new leads for you and your venue. EventUp provides the largest network of event venues, making it the number one choice for event planners to browse, book, and plan their social and corporate events. This powerful site is dedicated to supporting event planners to plan their perfect event and driving leads.
EventUp started in 2011 with a bold idea: to change the way people book events. EventUp is the largest event spaces directory with an emphasis on unique spaces. Think museums, art galleries, wineries, and even professional ballparks.
With EventUp, event planners are encouraged to create an account; this sets up a unique user experience between the event planner and the venue. After the event planner browses through venues in their desired city, narrowing down on a few that could potentially be a good fit for their event, the event planner can easily submit multiple requests to venues. The two-way communication all happens within the same portal. Event planners can save messages, set favorite venues, and explore educational content all from one view. Once you and the event planner have agreed on moving forward with a proposal – you can simply push that lead to your event management platform, like Tripleseat, to complete the full sales cycle, event execution, and future marketing potential.
